You know as well as I do that the U.S.S.R. had the best tanks, right?  ;)

Ive been shooting them to pieces with mai loltraktor.  once again the Germans got screwed over with the last patch.

I'm out of garage slots and I refuse to buy them when they aren't on sale for half price. But I'll probably buy the new German light tanks later on.

I got a little bored and thought I'd play World of Tanks since it had been quite awhile since I had fired it up. When I logged on I was informed that I had been given a free tank (Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. D) and garage slot. It didn't survive its first battle, so I was surprised when I viewed the battle results:

What a nice surprise!

I hate the thing.

Man, that brings back memories- I put in many, many hours driving around in a PzII while playing WW2OL during the early and mid 2000's.





(EDIT for proper panzer ID.)

[Apocalypse 31]

I put some serious hours into Ww2OL.

It's a shame to see the current state of the game; not surprising given some of the gameplay decisions that the developers made.

I'm not even sure how the game is even still running

[Staggerwing]

That's a panzer 3, but yeah, I put some serious hours into Ww2OL.

Oops
That's what I get for posting while watching TV.  :-[ :-[
I'll have to fix that before I lose anymore grogcred...

[GDS_Starfury]

I saw it.  ::)

I spent four intense years in WW2OL. I've found that four years is about my max on any game, before burnout sets in.

Curious, though, what you think is the deplorable state of affairs in the game. I haven't played since about 2006.

Can't say I've played in a few years. Last time I played (2+/-) years ago, it was a ghost town. Only a handful of missions throughout the entire theater. Really sad when compared to the 2002-2005 years, when you could log in at any time and find a large number of players.

Also disturbing is their Dev team, mainly the Doc fellow. Abrasive, outspoken, and hypocritical. With all the true talent that left the team, he was one that stayed. The owner should have fired Doc years ago.

As I said previously, I think the team made some pretty poor decisions along the way which landed them in their current state.  MMOs are a tough beast; you can't expect to be successful when your game is running off of a 15 year old game engine, or you consistently make vasr, game-changing rules.

Its sad because it had so much potrntial.

[Staggerwing]

I believe Doc is a part-owner so not likely to be fired. Also, the game engine was upgraded a few years ago with the introduction of rag-doll physics and a few other bits. Supposedly there is a Beta running right now that is preparing the game for a transition to Steam but I was not able to get any specifics from perusing the forums. I hope it makes it onto Steam because the developers' problems of late have been a severe lack of funds for developing the game and adding more kit. More exposure might bring more funding.
